t maypoaceme:

Be it known thet I, Wilmer: H, Hones, a citizen of the United States, and e resident ofNeW York, borough of Erooiriyn, in the county of Kings and State or"; hew York, have invented certain new and secret int rovements in Stayins, oi "which the foiowing is a specification,

This invention re ates to stey s ios, and has for its ohject a of the class specified may iow '1 v --.-r Q grade ma erred, the y v its nee ar con.- struction, e "-o see-me es the usner stay-m V grade Figure my irnpre are viet s ing sever i ievation of ments,

aggerated v cteeriv iihistrate the 1 s 0L w i 'rovements,

in the of st v strins fah paper, it customary reed co nous eb of considerehie idth over gem both and, by snitahie meens, to appiy the to one face of said Web Then drying, the Weh he slitted into e 'eiuraiity of strips which they then he rolled up ready tor use,

In the form-of my improved stay-strip shown in Fig, 1, it take the strip 1, made as described, having dried gum i on one face thereof, dampen the lengthwise edges'o, 6 or the gumrned surface, and fold over the lengthwise edges 2, 3 ofthe strip onto the body portion of the strip and onto the dampened edges of the gummed surface, Then by pressing seid edges down onto the body portion thoseedges are caused to adhere to said body portion, thus providing a folded edge, gummed down on. each edge of the strip, thereby greatl 7 adding to the strength of the s rip an reinforcing the edges thereof against ehresion and tearing,

or carton, said gum portions 4? In the modification or Fig. 2, I have addedgum to the outer faces of the foldedvover edges 2, 3 of the strip, so that when said strip is dampened and applied to a package are efficient 8 securely in place.

find that it is sufficient to fold edges 2, 3 onto body l Without gumming them there, see Fig. 3, end then to apply gum & to that face of the strip opposite the face onto which the edges are folded, This is a more economical construction than that of either Fig, l or Big, 2, as iess gum is used.

l'n 4 is shown the construction of Fi 3 hot with the eddition of one thickness of gum introduced between hody portion 1 and the folded over edges 2, 3,

5, edges 2, 3, in addi'ien to losing folded over onto the body i: the earlier figures, have the estrei ice 2 M of those edges respectively, \TifIiGQ r against said to secure edges 2,

In some cases it hody, thereby forming heed ihe edges By my improvements, e we der or fabric of considerably low mess or both, than usuai, may he eni provide. a stay-strip of social or ieyed, and stiii greater claim:

1. A stay' -stri.p incied=..g in combination a strip of paper having its iengthvvise ed is folded over onto the body portion of the strip and having gum, on one face of said strip,

2, A stayestrip including in combination a strip of paper gennned on one face and having its lengthwise edges folded over and secured to the gummed face of the strip by the gum thereon, v

3. A stay-strip including in combination a strip of paper gummed on one face and having its lengthwise edges folded over and secured to the gumroed face of the strip by the gum thereon, said folded'over edges he ing also gummed on their outer feces respectively.

In Witness whereof, I herehy nature this 11th day of November,

afix my sigstrength and dependability than heretofore,
